Someone came up with the random idea that we could test the new laser scanner just before tear-down by having it scan the entire array.  It probably would be best to take multiple views, but it appears that the clump of trees just across the channel NE of S6 could have stable ground and a view of everything related to the project (all 15 stations, the wind turbine, and even most of the tower).  This would be a semi-circle scan at reasonably low* elevation angle, out to about 1km (except the tower, which is 1.13km).  (*60m at 1.13km is an elevation angle of only 3 degrees.)  When we next go out in good visibility, I'll check it out.

    We checked out this site.  The view is perfect, with all towers visible – possibly not the 10m sonic.  The ground was pretty firm at low tide, though clearly wet.  Going into the trees would be hard with underbrush and little visibility once inside.  So...we'd need a decent platform for the tripod.
